10+ people coached for SAT

With a strong academic background from MIT in Brain and Cognitive Sciences, 4 years of SAT teaching experience, and college teaching positions across multiple disciplines, I am well-equipped to help you excel in your SAT preparation. My experience as a Teaching Assistant in psychology, biology, and philosophy at MIT has honed my ability to break down complex concepts and tailor my teaching methods to individual learning styles. To date, I have successfully coached 20+ students over the past 4 years, helping them achieve their target scores (all improving by 100 - 300 points) and gain admission to top schools including Tufts and Notre Dame. I pride myself on my comprehensive SAT services. I create a tailored plan with each of my students and iterate as necessary to ensure that all of their concerns and areas needing improvement are addressed. I am excited to work together to help you achieve your best score! Reach out to set up an intro call to see an example lesson, get to know my teaching style, and ask any questions you may have :)
